A predictably messy month-end with positioning and window dressing creating wild price action at the individual stock level. But the overall benchmark was largely unchanged, recovering from an early dip after Wall Street fell for a third consecutive day. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.16% to 6968.6. Over August, it rose 0.6%, adding the strong rally in July. It was a dog’s breakfast at the sector level with materials and energy tumbling 1.4% and 2.9% respectively on an apparent resurgence in global

The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.5% to 6998.3, hovering around the figure for the entirety of the session. The burst of buying may reflect bargain hunting. However, being 30 August, month-end window-dressing may have been a factor.

We signed off Friday speculating on we would be walking into after Jerome Powell’s big speech. The answer was a bloodbath. It was predictably ugly. The S&P/ASX 200 shed 1.95% to 6965.5, logging its largest daily decline since June 30. Every sector closed deep in the red, led by information technology which tumbled 4.4%. Financials, materials and consumer discretionary didn’t fare much better, losing between 2.1% to 2.4%. The underperformance of the latter came despite Australian retail sales

Boom! What risk event at Jackson Hole later tonight?! The benchmark behaved like Powell will announce he’s cutting rates, adding 0.8% to close at 7104.1, almost exactly where it started the week. Across the sectors, only telecommunications finished lower – the one fly in an otherwise perfect ointment. The gains were evenly distributed elsewhere with financials, materials, energy, staples, healthcare and real estate climbing between 0.7% to 1.3%. Mirroring what’s been seen the entire week, top and

Wall Street’s lead was - shall we say – tepid at best. But materials and energy performed well and that flowed through to the ASX200 today. The local bourse closed 0.52% at 6998.The energy sector in particular outperformed, after a big drawdown in crude inventories was revealed in last night’s API inventory report. The gains were remarkably broad-based. And of course, the news flow was dominated by corporate full year results. Wisetech was the shooting star, rallying 12% after its profits lifted 72%

Downside momentum continued for a second session, seeing the local market hit four-week lows. The S&P/ASX 200 fell 1.21% to 6961.8, the weakest close since late July.

The S&P/ASX 200 slumped 0.95% to 7047, dragged lower by losses across all sectors. The largest declines were seen in consumer discretionary, financials, information technology and real estate which skidded more than 1%. The weakness came ahead of the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, headlined by a speech from Fed chair Jerome Powell. There was little reaction to China cutting another key interest rate, the latest step in a long string of easing measures. It was not a good day for Adbri and

Earnings season is well and truly underway now, with some heavy hitters handing down results.

IT stocks had a good day - especially stocks of a more speculative nature. Telecommunications, REITs and utilities also pushed higher. The drag on the market primarily came from the iron ore miners and energy stocks - the latter falling after a larger than expected build in US Crude Inventories drove oil prices back into the low $90 range.
